The Time Traveler's Wife - book by Audrey Niffenegger
The Time Traveler's Wife, is sort of the "idealised" fantasy story created by Audrey Niffenegger
Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome (and, of course also good looking) librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.
The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's marriage and their passionate love for each other as the story unfolds from both points of view.
The story holds itself fairly well together, and Clare and Henry's attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals—steady jobs, is greatly eased by the family fortune of Clare and the easy flow through the american dream (get a good job, get a car, get married, get a dog, get a baby...) is . All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.|||||||the rest post here|||||||||
